Nicola McLean has revealed she has a Hugh Hefner tribute in her house to celebrate the Playboy founder.
The former Page 3 icon first met the late mogul in 2001 at his 75th birthday party where she attended his VIP birthday bash.
She told us exclusively: “I loved the mansion and I loved everything and Hugh – I have a picture of him in my house – I loved him, he was so nice.”

She added: “I went to the mansion when I went to Hugh’s 75th birthday party. I was really young though, I was probably too young to be experiencing it. I would have a much wilder time if I was older as I was only like 19.”
Nicola also stated how she hates to hear former Playmates slate Hugh, as that was not the experience she saw at the party.
The I’m A Celeb star said: “It was a real shame listening to Holly and Bridget’s podcast but they were at the mansion when I was there and it certainly wasn’t what I saw.
“I don’t listen to it as I find it too annoying to listen to but it wasn’t what I saw.
“I’m not trying to victim blame anyone but if that’s how they felt then fair enough with everything, but we watched Girl Next Door and they seemed to have a fabulous time.”
The Playboy boss, who died at the Playboy Mansion on September 27, 2017, aged 91, also gave Nicola the princess treatment when she visited.
She continued: “He asked me who my favourite Playmate is and it goes without saying it’s Pamela Anderson and he got her makeup artist to do my makeup for the party which was brilliant. It was really fun.”
Though she was obsessed with Playboy, she never shot for the brand and still never gone nude throughout her glamour modelling career.
The star explained: “I didn’t want to shoot with Playboy but I was too young and I didn’t want to do nude and I wanted to move into TV.
“I think Page 3 is one thing but if you start doing proper nude its another thing – it wasn’t my thing.
“But the magazine is stunning, I adore Pamela Anderson and she was Jordan at the time and her pics were brill.
“On her cover feature, it said ‘wild girl of London’ and I thought it looked amazing.
“So, I loved Playboy since I was younger but it wasn’t something I would personally want to do.”
